Betty Rout was asleep when two men broke into her house and later stole her late husband's medals.
An 101-year-old woman is hoping for the safe return of her late husband's war medals after they were stolen from her home.
Insp Alec Linton from Gloucestershire Police described the burglary as "a particularly callous crime" and "very cowardly act". While the medals are of huge sentimental value to Mrs Rout, her family said they would be of no financial value.
